  10. The free trial is active now as the card is added ($300 free usage for 90 days + 200$ map free credits).  
  11. Add billing/manager details(mail/Optional)
  12. Add Alerts

Please note on this new account the user will get an additional $300 along with $200 map credits. $300 is provided by the user for 90 day trial period. If $200 map credits are over and usage is greater than $200 then google deducts the amount from $300. Every month, once the free trial is active/over user, will get $200 map credits. After 90 days we will not get any of the $300 amount. To activate the free trial service, it is mandatory to attach credit card details.
